TITLE —12-Lead ECGs & Arrhythmias: Diagnosis
and Treatment

Faculty:
Ken Grauer, MD

The
entire 14-hourcourse is taught by Dr. Ken Grauer, Professor Emeritus in Family
Medicine, College of Medicine, University of Florida. Dr. Grauer is primary
author of over 15 books on ECG/Arrhythmia Interpretation and ACLS, which have
been used by half a million medical providers across the globe. He has been a
leading primary care educator on cardiology subjects over the past 3+ decades, with literally hundreds of national presentations for physicians, nurses,
physician assistants, and other paramedical audiences. Dr. Grauer remains as
busy as ever in "retirement" — as
he continues his prodigious publishing of ECG books and ePubs, as well as his
on-line ECG Blog and ECG Videos.

Program
Purpose / Objectives

This
program consists of an intense but enjoyable 14 hours of interactive Review and
Practice on ECG & Arrhythmia Interpretation — with focus on clinical application in Primary
Care. All participants are gifted with freecopies of Dr. Grauer’s books. His course is
applicable to physicians, nurses, and physician extenders of any experience
level — with content adapted to the needs and questions of those in attendance.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------There are 4 main TopicAreas that I cover:

Topic
Area #2: ECG REVIEW: Practice
Tracings — Principles
covered in Topic Area #1 are continually reviewed through the numerous Practice
Tracings that are worked through in detail. Detailed explained answers are
found in Dr. Grauer’s books and Handout materials given to all participants.
Questions are welcome!

Topic
Area #3: Arrhythmia INTERPRETATION — Begins
with the basics of Rhythm Interpretation, which serves to catch up providers
with less experience —
while at the same time surprising even the most experienced
interpreters with numerous clinical pearls along the way. Areas covered in
addition to the basic rhythms are Narrow and Wide Tachycardias, Nodal Rhythms,
MAT, AIVR, Vagal Maneuvers, AV Blocks/AV Dissociation (as well as mimics of AV
Block), Aberrant conduction — and lots more.

Topic
Area #4: Arrhythmia Management/Practice — Principles
covered in Topic Area #3 are thoroughly reviewed through Practice Tracings that
are worked through in detail. Along the way — clinical concepts in arrhythmia management are
covered, including diagnostic assessment of the patient with (or suspected of
having) an arrhythmia. A practical approach to arrhythmia management is
stressed, including clear guidelines for when to refer.
